How Angioplasty Procedure Is Performed? | Balloon Angioplasty And Coronary artery stent Procedure

Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to open blocked blood vessels in the heart. Let's see how this procedure is performed.

First, the patient is given local anesthesia to ensure there is no pain during the procedure. Then, a small cut is made in the groin or wrist area, where a catheter is inserted into the artery. This catheter is guided to the blocked blood vessel in the heart using X-ray imaging.

At the end of the catheter is a balloon, which is inflated once it reaches the blocked area. This expands the narrowed artery and opens the blockage, restoring normal blood flow. If necessary, a stent may also be inserted to keep the artery open permanently.
